I've been steadily loosing weight and the main change I made to my diet was to watch my macros (generally speaking -- not measuring every gram I consumed, but estimates based on food data on MFP). My prior diet was closer to 35c/50f/15p and now my diet is around 40c/30f/30p (overall calories per day, NOT per meal). I found…

Kipper snappers!

Hey all, my results are in! Weight: -3.8lbs Arm: -.25 Bust: -.75 Waist: -.5 Thigh: -.5 Calf: -.25

Hi, Elizabeth! Congrats on your big loss already! What did you do to lose 17lbs; any special workouts? I'm looking for new ideas! I'm finishing the 30 day shred tomorrow. I'm getting married a month after you -- 9/22! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

That calculator is pretty nifty! My gw is 127 (at 5'3") but it is telling me I'll be at 21% body fat at 135, which would be great. Rethinking my gw...

I think Level 3 is more difficult than Level 2, but paradoxically the time seems to go by much more quickly! I find myself switching up weights a lot more in Level 3 (not sure if this is a good thing? Some of the moves just seem to easy with light weights, but others, like jumping jacks, would be difficult with heavy…

I'm finishing up on Sunday. I took one rest day in the middle of each level, so at 10 days per level I'll take 33 days to get through it. I've noticed results with just 5 days left (about an inch off my waist, half an inch off my arm, and generally my clothes fit much better/looser and I have a lot more strength in my arms…

Hi! I am getting married in a few months too! I have similar weaknesses for sweets and wine, but I've found over the last couple of weeks that logging my calories on MFP really helps curb those habits. I am trying to make this just as much about making positive changes that will benefit us the future as about looking great…

I log it as circuit training; that seems to be the closest.

I was having a problem with my 6 year old Tanita scale recently (it was a couple lbs off) and I went to the message board for help/suggestions. I was told to take the battery out and put it back in so the scale could recalibrate itself. I did that and I've found that it is much more accurate now. Maybe try that! If that…

I'm 5'3" SW: 147 CW: 143 GW: 127 I'm also doing the 30DS! I'm starting level 3 tomorrow. I feel stronger after level 2 (especially in my core and arms). Feel free to add me! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I started with 2lbs. After the first few days I moved up to 3lbs. I'd recommend starting low and seeing what you're comfortable with after you get used to the moves!

Hi all! I am getting married in September 2012! I am trying to lose around 15 lbs. I have my dress, but it hasn't gone through alterations yet. I'm doing the 30 day shred along with gym classes (pilates, kickboxing, spin, yoga). Not sure what I'll do after the 30 day shred is over in a week or so -- any recommendations for…

Hey all, just thought I'd share my half-way progress. Weight: - 2.4 lbs Chest: -.25 Arm (L): No change Waist: -.25 Thigh (L): -.25 Calf (L): No change I should note that I actually gained a few pounds after I started (Easter was really bad). I just started on MFP over the past week, and it has really helped me control my…

Thanks! I took the battery out and put it back in and that seems to have helped (consistently reading +.2 with the 5 lb weight, which isn't too bad at all).

I'm getting married in September of this year. I started looking in November 2011 and bought my dress in January. I have gained 5-7 lbs since I bought the dress (oops!) but fortunately it was a little big on me then, so now it fits perfectly. i just started dieting this week, though, and I'm hoping to lose that plus…

27 y/o female here! I also recently started the 30 day shred (in late March). I do it first thing in the morning with my man, and it's a great way to get some energy for start of the day! I have a short term goal of losing weight for my September wedding, but I'm also hoping to make a real life change this time around--to…

Hey all, I started the 30DS at the end of March too. I just started Level 2 yesterday--what a killer! So much harder than Level 1. What do you all think? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

My wedding is 9/22/12 too! Wedding plans: Picking out food and linens this week (eek for the diet!); cake, flowers, and invitation design coming up next month. Everything else (dress, entertainment, venue, wedding party, etc.) is set! Theme: "Casually elegant." Colors are navy and soft pink. Total weight to lose: 20 lbs…
